JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A woman from Jacksonville, Fla., has
filed a personal injury lawsuit against Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
for severe and lasting injuries caused by Bayer''s birth control drug Yaz,
according to a press
release.

Tiffany Littles, 33, claims that Yaz is a dangerous
prescription drug sold without adequate warnings about the risk of serious
injuries.

In July 2008, Littles suffered a bilateral pulmonary emboli,
cor pulmonale and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), more commonly known as a blood
clot.

The
complaint charges that Littles would not have been injured had Bayer properly
warned patients of the dangers of using Yaz.
